      Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

        Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.

      Let’s say your job is to check whatever is under those lids. How do you best mark it as having been done so you don’t re-open the same panel multiple times?

        I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to both worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

    They’re trolling. It’s not just that they’re not paid enough to care, it’s that they’re so criminally underpaid, they’ve lost respect for everyone. If they were happy at their work, paid well, had benefits, and paid time off, and were treated well, they’d never consider trolling like this. We’d all feel like part of a community that respected and valued our input, and we’d all treat each other much better.

    It’s a class war, and every year there’s less for us to share because the filthy rich refuse to share, and cannot be satisfied.

  • jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I work for an telco and I have seen a lot of times that a contract for using preexisting underground infrastructure that have lids like this has a section requiring that they are returned to the same location and orientation when the enclosure is sealed.

    Whoever owns that, municipality or private, will probably take a complaint about it, and may pass it to whoever is responsible or owns the plant inside.

        Two sets of lids were swapped. Those lids can be pretty heavy. Whats inside them usually are valves for plumbing.

        So after the 100th set of valves you’ve backflow tested that day and you’re resetting the lids in 100F+ degree heat and you turn around as you’re walking away with your gear that you swapped two lids?

        Well, having done this work at two different times in my life: the size of paycheck matters decidedly on whether that’s getting fixed.

    design challenge: invent a treatment for these access lids that allows them to be swapped around while remaining aesthetically pleasing. it occurred to me that some physical forcing function might keep them in the right order also…
